shenanigans, thank you for the insight, I hadn't thought of that but now realize its a viable circumstance that could easily become a problem. yombrian; the website is turtleman.com. its not a zoo nor is it irresponsible to use the advertised buy back program. it is a farm the breeds the turtles and I can only assume the bigger take-ins they receive will be used to continue the breeding that goes on there. the inhabitants of this tank would be primarily food, its not a community show tank im planning.
as for my current set up I started with 12 piranhas I got when they were the size of a quarter. they have been sold to private parties, I have lost some to aggression, and just lost two of my last three during a broken heater fiasco. the cichlids had a small spawn, all but one of which have been picked off as did the male of the tank. they were always intended to be eaten, which is why I had a breeding pair in a piranha tank.
if 5 fish, all but one not making the 3" mark in a 150 gallon tank is a "community" to you, your an idiot. I don't know how else to say it but that's "wtf" is with my single piranha
